Uneven Concrete Sidewalk Lifted and Leveled in Fox Lake, WI
In Fox Lake, WI, safety was a growing concern for this homeowner due to settling concrete slabs. As you can see in the before photo, the uneven surface created a looming risk. We addressed this with our trusted PolyLevel system to lift and stabilize the slabs. Pea-sized holes were strategically drilled and foam injected beneath lifted the concrete, restoring stability. To further ensure lasting protection, our innovative NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to seal cracks and joints, guarding against water intrusion. Take a look at the after photo for the significantly improved safe surface.
Concrete Driveway Repair in Fox Lake, WI
Before: A homeowner in Fox Lake, WI noticed sections of their driveway and front walkway had begun to settle unevenly, creating visible trip hazards and poor drainage near the approach to the front entrance. Cracking and separation between the concrete slabs had continued to worsen through Wisconsin’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, a common issue throughout Dodge County and surrounding areas where soil movement and moisture fluctuations contribute to sinking concrete. The uneven surfaces not only affected curb appeal, but also created safety concerns for guests using the walkway leading to the front door.
The homeowner began researching concrete lifting, concrete leveling, and concrete floor repair options after learning that traditional mudjacking methods can add additional weight to already unstable soils and often require larger drill holes and longer cure times.
After: Sure-Dry installed the PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to carefully raise and stabilize the settled driveway and walkway slabs leading to the front entrance. This advanced concrete lifting system is injected through small, minimally invasive ports and expands beneath the slab to restore proper elevation and support. Compared to traditional slab jacking or mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and resistant to future washout beneath the concrete surfaces.
To help protect the repaired joints and cracks from future water intrusion, the crew also applied NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant along the affected seams. This flexible sealant helps reduce water penetration that can contribute to additional settlement and concrete deterioration over time. The completed concrete leveling project restored a safer, more even transition from the driveway to the front walkway while improving the overall appearance of the home’s entryway.

Sunken Concrete Patio Repair in Waupaca, WI
Before
A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had several sections of their back concrete patio that had settled over time, leaving the slabs uneven and creating noticeable trip hazards. The sunken concrete also allowed water to collect in the low areas instead of draining away from the home. Like many outdoor concrete surfaces in Wisconsin, the patio had been affected by soil settlement and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, causing the slabs to sink while remaining structurally sound.
After
Sure-Dry restored the patio using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to precisely lift and level the settled slabs. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without adding excessive weight beneath the concrete. Once the patio was returned to a level position, the homeowner once again had a safer, more attractive outdoor space with improved drainage and no need for costly concrete replacement.

Garage Apron Concrete Repair, Lifting & Joint Sealing in Waupaca, WI
Before
A homeowner in Waupaca, WI had a concrete garage apron and the steps leading down to the lower-level entrance that had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces and noticeable gaps between the concrete slabs. The height differences made it more difficult to safely walk between the garage and lower-level entry while also allowing water to seep into the joints. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and naturally shifting soils often cause these heavily used concrete areas to settle, leading to trip hazards and continued movement if left unaddressed.
After
Sure-Dry restored the garage apron and lower-level entry steps using PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to accurately lift and stabilize the settled concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures in about 15 minutes, and provides long-lasting support without placing additional stress on the underlying soils. After the concrete was returned to the proper elevation, all joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help prevent water from infiltrating beneath the slabs and contributing to future settlement. The completed project restored safe access to the lower-level entrance while improving the appearance and longevity of the existing concrete.

Concrete Driveway with Severe Sunken Slabs Repaired in Lowell, WI
Before: A homeowner in Lowell, WI had reached the point where the concrete driveway and walkway leading to the front door were falling apart faster every season. Large cracks had formed throughout several slabs, sections of the concrete had sunk badly out of level, and parts of the walkway had become rough enough that family and guests had to watch where they stepped coming up to the house. Water was also settling into the low spots after rain, which only continued washing out the soil underneath and making the problem worse over time.
Around Dodge County, severe freeze-thaw weather and years of moisture working under older concrete can really take a toll on driveways and walkways like this. The homeowner wanted to avoid the cost and mess of replacing everything and started looking into concrete lifting and concrete leveling options instead.
After: Sure-Dry used PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam to lift and stabilize the settled driveway and front walkway slabs. By injecting the foam beneath the concrete, the crew was able to fill the empty spaces underneath and carefully raise several badly sunken sections back closer to level. Compared to traditional mudjacking methods, PolyLevel High-Density Concrete Lifting Foam is lightweight, cures quickly, and helps avoid putting extra stress on already shifting soils beneath the slabs.
After the lifting work was finished, the crew sealed the large cracks and open joints using NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to help keep water from getting back underneath the concrete. By the time the project was completed, the driveway and walkway looked dramatically better, the uneven sections were much safer to walk across, and the whole front approach to the home felt cleaned up and more solid again.
